We are based in Cape May, the southernmost point in New Jersey and a spot with a well-deserved reputation as a migratory hotspot. When I'm not traveling, I've got the good fortune to have interesting natural history to explore right outside my door. Since 2006 I've been leading Road Scholar (formerly Elderhostel) birding programs here, and I always have a few field trips for the Audubon Naturalist Society that I lead here. I also help with NJ Audubon events in Cape May and work with monarch butterfly studies. Here are a few photo highlights from Cape May and nearby locales in 2019.
